HT5312 Received an e-mail asking me to reset my account.

I accessed iTunes today but did not change any of my information. I got an e-mail from Apple saying my name had been changed and I had to click on a link to reset my account. I didn't do it and seem to be able to sign in fine online. I also received a text from Apple saying I had won a competition I hadn't entered so I am a bit wary of this e-mail and wondering is it legit?

The text message is not from Apple and definitely a scam. Apple has no such contest and never has had. The email is almost also certainly a phish; do not respond to it, nor to any unsolicited messages asking for any sort of account information. I would expect that if you were to examine the raw source of the message, you'd find that the URL actually goes to some other site, not Apple's.
If you ever have need to reset any of your account information, manually type in the URL to the Apple ID management page:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Then you can be confident that you're actually contacting Apple's systems.

Mail will not receive any incoming mail from either of my 5 accounts

I have not been able to receive mail to my leopard mail.app for quite some time now... which is odd, as I can easily receive mail to my iphone on all the same accounts.
I thought at one point it was pgp, but now when I have completely re-installed leopard and manually moved mailboxes over, I still have same problem.
Anybody out there with a similar problem, solution?
Thanks

Thank you!
Well that is exactly it, nothing happened... when using connection doctor, it would say something like 'cannot connect to server' or something other, which is odd, since I have had this setup running for ages on all accounts nothing was new.
I could send at times with a long delay, but had not been able to pull down messages for good 2 weeks, and prior to that, it seemed that on some networks I could pull down, but on others I could not. (taking into consideration that I am travelling all the time, and use probably 20 different wifi's pr week)
Anyhows, after browsing the net most of today without finding much of anything, I just figured that my mail folder must just be a tad bloated (well I had more than 16000 sent messages). So I moved all my sent messages to a seperate folder, and deleted all my mail accounts, but kept my mail in folders.
Did a new setup of so far 2 of the email addresses, and they are running fine.
But can mail actually get too bloated, what is the limit?
Thanks again.

Have you bought a serial number? or is there another reason to you think you should get an email with the serial number?

'Unusual activity' detected every day?

I'm having something of a problem with my email. I keep getting emails from Yahoo's mailer daemon telling me about failed emails that I didn't send. I have eliminated all possibility of this being down to having some kind of trojan or other malware on my PC, so this means that either BT/Yahoo's system is getting hacked further up the line or (more likely) my email is being spoofed. However, this would only be slightly irritating and solved by simply deleting the emails (there's never more than about a dozen) except for one thing - BT/Yahoo's system seems to be detecting these emails as 'unusual activity' and forcing me to change my password at least once a day, sometimes more. Given that I've gone through several different passwords, all of which haven't made the blindest bit of difference to this 'unusual activity', and there appears to be nothing I can do to fix this, is there any way I can bypass this prompt to change my password?

Hi.
Your post seems to confirm my suspicion that Critical Path (the new mail provider for BTinternet) might be causing the problem about the need for password changes.
As you correctly say, the bounce messages are due to your email address being spoofed/forged in a spam run. There is nothing you can do to prevent this.
I feel that the moderators need to question Critical Path about their methods in this regard.

I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account. I can still send e-mail messages, though. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my account. I have changed my password, but wonder how to start receiving mail again?

I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account, though I still seem to be able to send messages. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my Mail account (my LinkedIn and Facebook accounts were both hacked three days ago and a scam/phishing message sent to my contacts, and I know there was at least an attempt made to hack into one of my e-mail accounts). I have already changed my Apple password, but how do I start receiving mail again?
(And I should also say that I'm a little surprised there was no alert from Apple of suspicious activity on my account, if such was the case. Instead, when I logged into my account via Mobile Me three days ago I noticed that all messages in my inbox were gone as well as all of my contacts. I assume this was related to the current problem.)
Thanks for all responses.

The problem has been solved with the help of a MobileMe online counsellor. My MobileMe account had in fact been hacked into and the fraudster had been redirecting my e-mail messages to a phony account that he controlled. We took the forward off and reset all my passwords and security questions, which solved the immediate problem.
Thx.

I receive many e-mails with zipped files. In the past few weeks I can no longer open them as I used to. I get a window welcoming me to the Application Loader. ( What is an Application Loader?) It says I need my iTunes Connect login, but when I try my

I receive many e-mails with zipped files. I can no longer open or unzip my files. A window welcoming me to Application Loader drops down. It prompts for an iTunes Connect login, but will no accept my iTunes login. I have no way to open or unzip my files. Help!!!!

Application Loader, unless there's another one I'm not familiar with, is part of the iOS SDK. That have usurped the .zip, or you may have removed that application but your Mac is still holding onto the mapping of Zip files to that application. Select a .zip file in Finder, Get Info, and go to the Open with section. Select Archive Utility and click Change All. That should fix the problem.

Still Receive Multiple E-Mail Notifications of New Posts When Subscribed

In days past, a user would only receive one e-mail notification of new posts to a thread to which he/she was subscribed. You would have to visit said thread before you would receive new e-mails. Sometime during the last big change in the structure of the forums, this way of e-mailing notifications changed. Now I am bombarded with a new notification each time a new post is made to a subscribed thread. I may have ten or more new e-mails just notifying me of new posts to a single thread before I even get a chance to make a return visit. The old way was much, much neater. Any chance of a return to that?
Regards,
Steve M.

I experience it even worse.
I receive Notifications and Digests for threads that weren't changed.
I mean to say that
-I post an answer to some topic.
-Automattically I am subscribed to that Thread (that's OK, I asked for that in my settings)
-I receive lot's of Notifications and Digest ALTHOUGH NOBODY ADDED A NEW POST TO THE THREAD. It seems as if the Notification also reacts any time anybody is READING the thread.
It seems obvious to me that I only want to receive Notifications (and Digests) of Threads that are altered in some way since the last time I read the thread OR received a Notification or Digest.
That is:
- new post added to the thread
- a post has been altered by one of the posters
- a Solved or Helpfull mark is given.
Hope Apple can fix this.
thanks

Unusual activity with ver 3.6.8

I recently upgraded to ver 3.6.8 and have been experiencing unusual activity [in the form of FF alerts] with this ver that I did not have with my earlier ver. For example I am receiving the following FF alerts on webpages which I routinely visit.
> FF tells me that it prevented the webpage from reloading
> FF tells me that it prevented a re-direction to another website
> FF tells me You have requested an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted information. Information that you see or enter on this page could easily be read by a third party
These messages appear on the various legitimate websites which I routinely visit. I did not receive these messages with the earlier FF version.
Does anyone know why this is happening now with ver 3.6.8 ?
Thanks

I recently received an e-mail appearing to be from Apple On line Support. the e-mail asked me to verify my account details and security questions or my account would be suspended in 3 days. is this a genuine request?

Indeed they did. To be fair, the OP was only responding to an overly curious member. Maybe TWO lessons learned? LadyLazenby, a sheila, visiting the Deep South, had some mis-adventures help with smashed screen

Hello there,

You cannot convert an existing account, but you can set up your Yahoo account as IMAP in parallel to the existing POP account. See

Mail issn't receiving any e-mail..

Hello,
At first I wan't to excuse myself for my bad english, because i'm not english but dutch.
I have a few questions about the 'Mail' configuration. I've tried many things and almost everything whats on this site, but I still can't fix it..
At first i've tried to install my @live.nl account. The problem with this account is I CAN'T RECEIVE any e-mails on my macbook air..
Sending an e-mail is no problem, but receiving is! I'm using pop3.live.com as the incoming server but then i get the following troubleshooting:
- (in dutch)     Er is mogelijk een probleem met de mailserver of het netwerk. Controleer de instellingen voor de account 'live.nl' of probeer het opnieuw.
                     De server heeft een fout geretourneerd: De verbinding met de server 'pop3.live.com' via poort 995 is mislukt (fout 54: Connection reset by peer)
- (in english)   There is a possibility that the mailserver or the internet connection having any problems. Check de configuration for account 'live.nl' or try again.
                     The server has a fault returned: The connection with the server 'pop3.live.com' trough port(gateway!?) 995 has failed.(fault 54: Connection reset                        by peer)
So it says it has troubles with a port, but what does it need to be.. or is it something else?
With my @hva.nl account is everything i do wrong.. But maybe my school customer service knows it with that one..
Please help me out so I can get the most out of my brand new Macbook Air!
Kind regards,
Robin

Hi Robin!
I have an article here that can help walk you through some troubleshooting steps for this issue. That article can be found here:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
Most likely, you will need to double-check your settings for your incoming server and reapply them, but those two steps are listed among the other troubleshooting steps in the article above. Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

"We've detected some unusual activity on your emai...

Hi there, I've just tried to log into webmail and was greeted with the following - "We've detected some unusual activity on your email account, and we think it may be compromised. As a precautionary measure, please follow the steps below to ensure your account is secure. "
I've tried telephoning support to no avail, I was banging my head against a brick wall. Does anyone know what may be the cause of this, or what the unusual activity might refer to?
I run a Mac at home so there's not much chance of a virus.
Any help would be appreciated.

Just had this for the first time in ages on a secondary account.
Did the usual routine, checking for foreign logins
https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.intl=us&.src=ymbr&.partner=&.pd=&.done=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.login...
and surprise surprise there were none. Then opened Thunderbird which dowloaded mails ok, rechecked webmail and all was back to normal.
So I reckon it was just another false alarm. It's a pity that BT have STILL not resolved these email problems. I got so fed up with these false random email-security-compromised warnings that I just gave up. Sometimes I would just change the p/w to get rid of the message, then switch back again.
This chronic problem means that customers' guarding against a REAL wolf attack is lowered.

Old e-mail account keeps showing up when I reply to e-mail sent to active account

I deleted a hotmail e-mail account from my iPhone. The reason that I deleted it was because sometimes when I replied to an e-mail sent to my aol or Time-Warner e-mail addresses (which were active on the phone), the e-mail would somehow show up to the recipient as having come from the old hotmail account. Thus, when the other person replied, it went to the hotmail account instead of my aol or Time-Warner account.
Incredibly, even after I deleted the hotmail account from the phone, restarted it and did everything else that I could think of to be sure that it was gone, this still happens. Here is an example:
1. I send an e-mail to a friend from my aol account.
2. The friend replies and I receive the e-mail in my aol account.
3. I reply back to the friend. In the "from" box in the e-mail that my friend receives from me, it does not show the aol account, but instead the hotmail account.
4. When the friend replies, it goes to the hotmail account and not the account.
5. The only way that I become aware that the friend replied is by checking the hotmail account.
So the question is: how do I get this to stop?

i already sign-out my account and sign in again but still when i update an app, wrong username will pop up..
"settings, itunes&app store, sign out username, re enter username"

I received an e-mail regarding unusual activity on my account
